Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 25 - 24- Arc 1

It's been three weeks and during this period she had been carrying out her plans.

Some were already coming to fruition.

She had been able to get a supplier for the machines and huge number of apparels, ranging from ancient to medieval costumes of different countries, and it cost her a fortune.

Luckily for her, she didn't have to worry about that.

As for the person she said she would get to buy the mine, it was her and so, she had herself act as a middle man.

Acting as a middle man wasn't that hard. All she had to do was pay someone else to act as the buyer.

And as for what happens after, she had once had a terrible idea.

To kill him.

But, she couldn't go that far.

She knew her assassin tendency still lurked within her despite the facade she put on, trying to mask it.

Shaking her head, she thought about the incident that happened the first time they went for site seeing.

After that incident, they went again and this time around, the appraiser died, leaving them in shock. He died neither by the hands of the sniper but mysteriously.

She remembered how his body was sliced in half.

Up till now, she still wondered how sharp the blade was to slice someone in half and how the person had managed to do it.

She didn't even sense anything, let alone a person which led her to start questioning her skills.

Ella's words echoed in her head, reminding her of what she was supposed to be doing.

Taking a deep breath, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Shaking her head to remove the negative thoughts she was having. She remembered what brought this thoughts.

'Yeah... The mine'

Due to the incidents, Richard had no thoughts of trying to maximize his benefits, when he could be the next person to have his body sliced, especially now, he was still compensating the Appraiser's family.

Now, Richard just wants to sell them. At least he could use the money for something else.

Exiting the Firm building, she was met with Dominic who had flowers in his hand.

Face palming her face, she felt like turning invisible and not meeting him.

The thought of becoming invisible brought something to her mind, but it was thoughts for later.

She watched as Dominic stepped down from his car with flowers in his hand.

"Such a lovely boyfriend."

"Lol, looking at him, he is just a novuea rich. She would be dropped by him in no time."

"Tsk, you are just a sour lemon."

"Maybe that's how she even graduated."

"Ehhh.... You shouldn't go there, you all know best her capabilities, if not would Barr. Kamil have her as his student."

"Yh, we all know her capabilities in bed."

"Pfft... I wonder what she has that caught his eyes."

"Well, her skills of course."

Many of such whispers continued, entering from one ear and leaving through the other.

Zosia turned off the murmurs from her colleagues and bystanders. She definitely did not want to escalate the scene, so she walked to the other side of the car and entered, leaving the dumbfounded Dominic standing.

Despite his plans being thwarted, he was more than happy that she used her own hand to enter his car, which means, he didn't have to wheedle her and it also means that, Just.... Maybe, she was also interested in him.

The smiling Dominic, did not care about how it went, all he knew was that, Diana was willing to follow him.

......

In the car.....

"Where are we going to?" Zosia broke the silence, bringing the lost in thought Dominic back.

"I am sure you have not eaten, especially after such hectic day." His eyes held concern as he gazed at her.

Feeling his concerns, she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

Zosia felt that such concerns were unwarranted, she wasn't really the main Diana anyway.

Indeed she hadn't eaten and true, her day was also hectic.

As a lawyer involved in the case and witness to the incident, she also had to help Richard pacify the Appraiser's family as well as some workers Richard had sent to try and mine some gold but unfortunately got injured.

The injuries were minor with the worst having his leg amputated.

Remembering the first do's in the guide book, she shook her head.

'I better delay whatever blooming love, till the moment I go.

I can't let myself be tangled by emotions.' her eyes shone in determination.

' I wonder how many times I shook my head today. What a bother.' she thought.

"Alright. You are not wrong but I still have something to do after that." Zosia tone held indifference though a little bit stiff.

The stiffness in her voice gave hope to Dominic.

He believed, that she was just closing herself up but he will slowly warm his way into her heart.

Dominic didn't believe he couldn't warm Diana's heart.

Zosia felt the shift of emotions in him.

'I will be selfish and give him hope, for the sake of the main host. If I push him away and Diana likes him, it would be hard for them to get together.' her face indifferent as she thought.

'I need to rush things up. I have only a little over a year left.' she thought, but was she right?

Zosia felt the need to relax, she just began her work as Realmrider and she is already getting ahead of herself-

Her thoughts were cut off by Dominic question.

"How did you escape?"

"From?" Zosia eyes held a hint of confusion before understanding what he was asking.

"Why do you care?" Her eyebrows rose. freēwēbnovel.com

Dominic felt her becoming defensive and knew he approached the question wrongly.

"I care. After all, you are my Fiancé and everything about you concerns me. Down from your hair to your toes." He leaned closer to her and caressed her hair.

Zosia heard his chuckle beside her ear. " Tsk, you are sick. You better watch the road before we kiss our souls goodbye."

"Of course my angel." His words earned Zosia eye roll, "Cringe."

" But I am serious, if you don't want to tell me yet, I understand." His voice becoming more soothing.

.......

Zosia carried on with her plans while maintaining the relationship between her and Dominic, but as time for her departure drew near he became more anxious.

She had only two weeks remaining and she would have to leave.

Gazing at the galaxy of stars above her head, she could not help but think about her interactions

with her family.

The host father had come to see her in her office two weeks after the accident Trisha had encountered.

She had thought he had come to thank her but unfortunately she was wrong.

Not only did he tell her that she should have helped in clearing her sentence, instead of allowing her to still go to prison for drunk driving. He also asked her to stay away from Dominic.

Zosia shook the wine in her hand, as she remembered the scene of her stepmother coming to see her followed.

Zosia who was still an intern was running up and down fulfilling the wish of her seniors.

From getting coffee to water, tissue etc.

"Diana, your mother is looking for you." The woman at the reception called her when she finally had time to sit down.

Tired, her eyes lazily looked at the receptionist in front of her, "I do not have a mother, so that person is an imposter."

"Tch, what has it got to do with me, you better go and take a look." The receptionist made a loud sound with the gum in her mouth.

Zosia watched as the receptionist eyed her before walking away. Lazily standing up, she followed behind her.

Arriving at the reception center, she recognized the so-called mother.

"What are you doing here?" Zosia tone was not good.

Zosia definitily did not forget to deal with the family but she did it subtly that it couldn't be traced, even most of the money she spent came from their pocket. Well, they would never know.

"I'm doing fine and you? You must be weary, why don't we talk over a meal." Cecillia had a kind smile plastered on her face.

Zosia looked at the kind smile which seemed almost flattering in her eyes and thought:

'The kind smile she always wore outside. I wonder how it would look when ripped.'

"Follow me." Zosia knew that whatever the woman came for wouldn't be good, besides, she was being offered free food. So, she may as well take it.

She walked out of the firm, leading Cecilia to the restaurant opposite the firm.

After taking their seats, she sat on the chair facing Cecilia.

"Speak." Her voice indifferent and cold.

"Is that how you speak to your mother?" Cecilia voice carried a hint of admonishment and a forced smile.

"Tsk... I have only one mother and she was killed by you. So, get straight to the point or I am leaving."

Cecilia detected the chilling tone in Diana's voice.

Cecilia did not miss the threat in Diana's voice, but to her, she knew she had to play the long game if she needs Diana's help.

"Aye, I can't come to see you. After all, you ran away for a long time.

Everybody was worried about you. If not for your dad telling me about your whereabouts, I wouldn't know." Her voice a little loud to draw some customers attention to their conversation.

"Get straight to the point, don't make me repeat it again." Zosia was definitely not in the mood for games. Especially when the food was taking time to be delivered.

She was already irritated and Cecilia served to further irritate her.

She had other things to do.

"I came to invite you for dinner, at the house. It's been long, even grandma is asking about you."

"Not coming. If that is what you came to deliver, well you have done that." She stood up from her seat as she said that.

"Hey, hey... i'm not done." Cecillia called out, but Zosia would be damned to go back and listen to her ramblings.

Fuck!!!

She was so hungry.

Zosia walked out of the restaurant, ignoring her calls.

Zosia arrived at the dustbin on the road side.

"Should I throw this?" She asked inwardly as she stared at the needle.

"Nah, I will just keep it." Zosia had poisoned the needle and pierced it on Cecilia while she was talking.

As for what the poison was, it poisons the person's breath and staying with such a person for a long time causes irritability and spike in anger and some negative emotions.

"Now, I just have to watch, while the family crumbles from the inside.

As for me, I better go grab a bite."

As for how she got the poison, she had made use of her little chip ability. By allowing it to access all kinds of medical knowledge, she had it make a way on to make such poison.

She also made use of it to make different recipes, especially those that would help her in getting stronger but her ability couldn't make up for it.

Cecilia did not stop coming to see her after that day but became more persistent that it became annoying.

"What is it?" Zosia screamed as she tugged on her hair.

Zosia felt like she had dropped a stone on her feet by giving that poison to Cecilia.

Not only did it amplify her persistency but also her hatred. She had been causing trouble for her in different ways. It was so petty that it was annoying.

"Take the fall for your sister." Cecilia tone certainly wasn't like one of a begger but as a superior person.

Someone who had come to beg and instead of lowering her tone of position, she still had that air of superiority.

"No, and if you keep disturbing, don't blame me for when your good daughter gets more jail time."

Her cold words made Cecilia shudder and unable to refute.

Zosia did not know if her words had any effect or if the poison had started working on the family, but Cecilia had stopped coming to look for her.

.... Back to the present.....

Taking a gulp of the remaining wine, she twirled the empty glass.

"A very nice poison." She muttered under her breath.

Not only was it untraceable, but it was slow. You would never know the cause and may only attribute it to stress.

Opening her phone, she looked at the latest news.

Well, Trisha was in Jail.

Richard and Ferdinand are fighting because of the money that came from the land and mine sold.

That old woman was now in her last breath.

As for Cecilia, she couldn't be any worse. She was suffering at the hands of both brothers and the old woman who keeps blaming her for their current misery.

Pouring for herself another glass of wine, "I really tried making this wine. Though it doesn't taste like the one I know, but it's better.

I just need to work on the skills more." She raised the glass of wine as the

bright moonlight reflected on it.

"As for those animals I am training, I better get more.

Tsk, am turning my space into a zoo." She twirled the glass and poured the wine into her mouth, allowing some to trickle down her face from her lips.

The scene looked seductive. Her dark red lips with the wine and her short, almost transparent night gown, could make even some strong willed men have dangerous thoughts.
